Burnley v Sheffield United Betting Tips
- Burnley are unbeaten at Turf Moor in the English Championship this season, and they have by far the best defensive record in the league. They will fancy their chances of winning this top-of-the-table clash against a Sheffield United team that has hit a sticky patch of form at the wrong time, losing consecutive matches against Oxford United, Millwall, and Plymouth Argyle to derail their automatic promotion push.
- Burnley are a team to avoid in the both teams to score market, particularly at Turf Moor. The Clarets have kept a clean sheet in 15 of their 21 home matches this campaign and have been involved in 12 0-0 draws, home and away, more than any other Championship team. So, if you’re planning a BTTS accumulator, betting on Burnley and Sheffield United not to score would be the better option.
- Jaidon Anthony could be a good bet for first or anytime scorer. The Burnley forward has been in fine form in the past few weeks, recently scoring four goals in five games. Though Burnley aren’t the most free-scoring team in the division, backing Anthony to score in this match against Sheffield United could be a good value bet.
This Fixture in History
Burnley and Sheffield United have met 132 times on official business since 1890. The Blades have a slightly better record, winning 52 and losing 48 matches against Burnley. There have been 32 draws between the teams.
In recent times, Burnley have the upper hand over United. They have won four of the last five matches against the Blades and have only lost three of the previous ten meetings. Burnley were particularly impressive against Sheffield United in the Premier League last season, winning their two fixtures by an aggregate score of 9-1.
Moreover, Burnley’s Boxing Day win at Bramall Lane was one of the Clarets’ most impressive performances of the season so far, so they will be confident of securing another crucial win against their promotion rivals on Easter Monday.
Burnley Man to Watch: Josh Brownhill
Josh Brownhill is Burnley’s most important player. From a goalscoring perspective, the English midfielder has already had his best Championship campaign, netting 13 league goals for the Clarets and laying on five assists for his teammates.
As mentioned, Jaidon Anthony is also in good form right now, having scored four of his nine league goals in his last five games.

Equally crucial to Sheffield United’s chances at Turf Moor are Gustavo Hamer and Callum O’Hare, who lead the Blades’ assists charts with six apiece.
